Wendouree Shiraz Mataro
Wendouree Shiraz Mataro is made from fruit that is generally larger and more medium bodied compared to other blocks, and treated with traditional winemaking practices. Vinification takes place in open stainless steel lined slate fermenters with regular plunging. The wine is matured in fine-grained new (20%) and seasoned French oak for 12 months. Its deep colour, blackberry and liquorice fruit and iron-fisted tannins make it a striking Clare Valley wine representative of its provenance.
About Wendouree
Wendouree, a revered Australian producer, bears rich historical significance. The vineyards, planted in 1893 in Clare Valley, maintain their original essence. Roly Birks steered winemaking for 60 vintages until 1983. Lita and Tony Brady, now seasoned vintners of four decades, acquired the property in 1974. Known for robust fruit intensity, their signature style showcases powerful shiraz and unique blends like shiraz Malbec and cabernet sauvignon.
